In 2018, I appreciated watching someone carve through the field and take risks, he clearly also has talent. However, I also think he is too immature/reckless. I think he got away with many moves because he had nothing to lose and was against drivers who did. His behaviour (one example, multiple moves in braking zone was tolerated because of his age and the excitment he brought to F1). BUT, If the Honda engine delivers he could be fighting for the championship and imho, he will f*c* it up simply because he will expect respect/room which he will not himself give (like he did to Daniel). IMHO, he will be ready in a couple of years time but not in 2019.
Am I wrong? And/or Is this theoretical and the Honda unit not up to the job? IMO, there were a couple of young drivers in 2018 which would have done better in the Red Bull set-up or (are you from Belgium/Holland and not a biased Brit) do you believe Max would have won the 2018 championship, if he had been in a Merc or Ferrari?

regarding Max: I have to say I was one of those, when we first heard that Max was coming to F1, who thought it was crazy to put someone that young with so little experience in an F1 car. I was wrong. Max should have let Ocon go in Brazil, he would have won that race if he had. So Max has made mistakes, but he's made fewer than Seb in the recent period. And he is undeniably very fast. With a little more experience he's going to be hard to beat. I think Seb himself said it best==>
